Dancer Curtis had his head turned by the stunning Jordan Raine while he was in Casa Amor, despite going steady with his half-girlfriend Amy Hart for four weeks.

Maura didn't wait long to pounce on him when the choreographer cooled things off with the air hostess.

The couple sailed through to the final where they came in fourth place and took their love to the UK following the end of the show.

Recently, rumours have been swirling that the pair called it quits because they weren't seen together.

However, the duo reassured their fans they have been very much together despite the speculation circulating on the showbiz circuit.

The Pritchard brothers will dance for 15 days from March 6 until March 21.
